July 18 (July 6) '95.

I wrote my last letter, if I'm not mistaken, on the eighth. Since that time I've wandered about considerably and have ended up now... at a Swiss spa resort: I decided to take the opportunity to tackle seriously the tiresome stomach illness that's been bothering me, especially since a specialist doctor who runs this resort was very highly recommended to me as someone knowledgeable in his field. I've been living at this resort for several days already and feel fairly well; the pension is excellent and the treatment appears to be sound, so I hope to get out of here in 4-5 days. Life here will cost, by all appearances, a great deal; the treatment is even more expensive, so I've already exceeded my budget and don't hope now to manage with my own resources. If possible, send me another hundred rubles to the following address: Suisse, Zurich. Parterre. Seilergraben, 37. H-n Grunfest 13 — nothing more; parcels and so forth are not necessary *. In any case I shall be expecting a letter at this address, and I'm not writing my own address because it's useless: I'll leave here anyway before an answer could be received.

How satisfied are you with your journey along the Volga? What's new there? Is everyone in good health?

I've probably already received a letter, but I haven't yet got your last letter — I received the last one from Mark in Paris — a postcard — because I was constantly moving. But if it was sent to the Paris address, then I'll receive it.

Is it hot summer where you are? Here it's very hot, but I'm living now in a good place, far from the city; surrounded by greenery and near a large lake.

My regards to all of ours.

Your V. U.
